    I recently watched a BBC programme called 'Dying For a Bargain', it was about the reality of the working conditions faced by workers in the clothing industry in the poorer countries. Many workers die due to factory fires and the working conditions are horrendous.

    This is part of the reason I do not buy made in China, India, Malaysia, Vietnam etc.

    Do you care where your clothes are made?

    Absolutely. I understand why people want/need to save a buck, but at the expense of others? I am very hesitant with brand names especially and I will forever care about everything I buy. I won't assume anything was put on that shelf ethically until I look into it myself to be sure.
